What 2 numbers add to get 2 and multiply to 4
rusak2 [61]
Factor 4
4=1 times 4
2 times 2
they don't add to 2
set up equation
x+y=2
xy=4

first equation, subtract x from both sides
y=2-x
subsitute for y
x(2-x)=4
distribute
2x-x^2=4
add x^2
2x=x^2+4
subtract 2x
0=x^2-2x+4
use quadratic formula which is
if you have ax^2+bx+c=0 then
x=\frac{ -b+/-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a} so

1x^2-2x+4=0
a=1
b=-2
c=4
x=\frac{ -(-2)+/-\sqrt{(-2)^{2}-4(1)(4)} }{2(1)}
x=\frac{ 2+/-\sqrt{4-16} }{2}
x=\frac{ 2+/-\sqrt{-12} }{2}
we have \sqrt{-12} and that doesn't give a real solution
therefor there are no real solutions
but if you want to solve fully
x=\frac{ 2+/-2\sqrt{-3} }{2}
i=\sqrt{-1}
x=\frac{ 2+/-2i\sqrt{3} }{2}
x=1+/-i\sqrt{3}
x=1-i\sqrt{3} or x=1+i\sqrt{3} (those are the 2 numbers)

Area= 2πr

So, 

If you were to multiply the radius by 2 since 2 is not in the equations, 

4*2= 8

8π ft^2 would be the correct answer.

I hope this helps!

How much pure acid should be mixed with 6 gallons of a 50% acid solution in order to get a 70% acid​ solution?
Mashutka [201]
To help with thinking about this, we can say that the 6 gallons of 50% acid contains 3 gallons of pure acid and 3 gallons of filler. This would make the concentration 3/6, or 50%. Adding a gallon of pure acid would shift the concentration to 4/7, or 57.1%.

When the relationship becomes 70%, four gallons of pure acid have been added.

3+4 7
—— = — = 70%
6+4 10
